I’m getting awfully tired of this day after day wind! Sure raises heck on exposed blinds.

I do have one blind in a narrow gully that is like a deer highway, and even a stiff west or northwest wind actually helps blow away any scent. Haven’t ever had a deer smell me while in that one, and this year I’ve never had less than 10-12 deer walk by in the evening on the way to a cornfield. All does and fawns though - only one forkhorn all fall for bucks!?!

The other stands are pretty limited in the wind, though just being out there is good enough!

My blind is very exposed, but somehow it managed to survive mostly intact. It has 2 tent poles that cross overhead, and one of those had snapped in half, 2 of the guy lines were pulled out of the ground and it was half collapsed. I popped it back open, replaced that broken tent pole with a branch, just to keep the top supported, staked the guy lines down again and it was good to go. I was very surprised.

Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.
